Long Long days.

I had a long day today.  I spent most of it in an online instruction for this NTI stuff.  They have a basic assessment test you have to pass before you can go and be invited to work on jobs.  I did not pass all of these tests.  I failed the typing test.  There is supposed to be some classes you can take to get better.  In 30 days I can try again.  I am not sure how this is going to work but they are supposed to have tutorials so that you can work on these skills.  The problem is in order to improve typing you have to type.  I am fine in a blog setting like this or if I am writing a paper but I have never been able to pass an actual typing test.  I have what is known as test anxiety too.  That means when I am taking a test I can get so nervous that It affects the way I perform on the test.  Because I have a disability, when someone is testing me on physical things, my nerves start acting up and I get so upset that the connections between my brain and muscles go haywire.  This is very typical of  my disability.  I believe the same thing happens to me in math. 

I am disappointed that I did not pass.  But now that I know how this goes,  I will do much better when I try again.  Short blog today.  My eyes are tired.  Take care.
